Based on spy photos of the next Escalade obtained by Car And Driver, the basic shape of the SUV won't change much.

That's a good thing: It's a classic, recognizable look.

While the interior of the 2013 model is nice, it could use some updates.

Cadillac will certainly include its CUE 'infotainment' system that is already in the XTS and ATS. The system is now getting some necessary fixes, according to Wired, which should be in place for the new Escalade.

No complaints about the high-quality leather and wood in the Platinum edition.

Massage seats would be a good call — they are showing up in a lot of new luxury vehicles.

The heated and cooled cup holders are a great idea, but we're not sure how well they worked. That could be improved.

Same goes for the heated steering wheel. And there's no need for that large shifter sticking out. Go for something smaller and less clunky.

Like massage seats, analog clocks are showing up in many high-end cars. In the next gen Escalade, we would prefer one that's easier to read.

We drove around on 22-inch multi-spoke wheels. No reason to change that.

We expect to see a lot of improvement in the entertainment system. Dual screens for rear seat passengers can play DVDs, but the next version should accommodate more digital content. And make them touch screens.

And there should be screens for the passengers in the third row, at least in the Platinum edition. There's no reason for the youngest members of the family to lose out on the fun.

These headphones were just fine. Long shot suggestion: noise canceling for the 2014 Escalade.

But these sets were lacking. Replace that foam with some leather.

More storage space like this would be nice: A friend's bag fit easily in the center console.

The third row leaves very little room for one's knees. The next Escalade should be configured to create more space, preferably without making the vehicle much longer.

With that row in place, there is not much trunk space.

Fortunately, it folds down.

And disappears completely. There was nothing complicated about folding the seats, saving us a headache.

The Escalade we drove was equipped with a rear view camera and blind spot zone detection, especially helpful in such a big ride. Those will stick around.

In designing the new Range Rover, Land Rover went by the motto, "Don't change it, just make it better." Cadillac should do the same.
